Answers :

One way to resolve your issue would be to run a complete Restore of the whole system. This should pose little worry to you as your PC is very new, but is only to be used as a last resort as it will TOTALLY WIPE ALL THE USER INFORMATION that you had input yourself and return your new PC to the state it was in when you first opened its lid. The specific step by step instructions or install routine you need can be found within the user manual and any install disk you may need should be supplied in the box it came in. Look in the manual for RESTORE. One last thing when restored add a USER ACCOUNT for you grandson and ensure it is set to be LIMITED not to ADMINISTRATOR and password your own account (as one MUST be set to ADMIN.) so that he will not be able to set up such a problem in the future.
